Jingle All the Way (1996)
It's Just Fun (And Relatable)
I understand it's over the top, but the whole movie is a lot of fun. It gives some nostalgic feelings of Christmas when you would search all over town in crowds of people for the hot toy items instead of clicking buttons on a screen. It's fun just seeing Arnold depict a dad out in actual toy stores going the madness.
The movies pacing is good because once it gets rolling to find Turbo Man it never really slows down. Each scene becomes more chaotic and crazy as it progresses to a happy ending. Over the top, but still a happy ending.
I know this one isn't loved by everyone but it's an annual Christmas watch for me just like Elf, Christmas Vacation, and The Grinch.
Waterworld (1995)
Worth the Watch
Reading about how horrible this movie is and how damaging it was to Kevin Costner's career is suprising after watching it for myself. This is a pretty epic film considering the amount of work that went into the set designs. I thought it was all very well done. It is like Mad Max on water.
The action scene where the first big water "city" is being invaded was awesome. It was a long action sequence that I know wasn't easy to pull off in 1995. There were lots of good action scenes throughout the movie.
The plot is fine and the ending is fine. It's not like it's the greatest movie ever, but it was as good as most action movies of it's time. Comparing it to the entiretiy of 1995 and it wasn't like there tons of amazing movies. My point is that it is way better than people give it credit for. I also think Kevin Costner was good in the movie. I've always enjoyed his work.
The Last Blockbuster (2020)
Nostalgic Goodness
If you remember Friday night at Blockbuster and the fun that was the video rental store, you will enjoy this documentary. This is the little engine that could of the 90's. It's hard to believe there is one last Blockbuster in existance and this is it. Not only is it a feel good of nostalgia, but the familiy running the store are great people as well. I thought the doc was fun and insightful giving brining back the Friday night Blockbuster feeling. I'm not sure why the low ratings, but I thought it was great.
Run (2020)
Solid Suspense
This movies is what it says it is and does what says it will. First of all it's clean. It's hard to watch a clean suspensful movie and this is void of language and nudity. "GD" was said at the beginning and I think that's it. The movie offers a simple plot and follows it solid revealing small twists and turns along the way. I thought they wrapped up the story in a satisfying way as well. Often the end can be a disappointment, but it was solid. It's definately worth the watch.
Breaking Bad (2008)
Still Amazing in 2020
Was my favorite show of all time when it aired. There hasn't been a show as good sense. Watched it again over the last few months and it's just as good today. Masterful storytelling, amazing acting, and beautifully shot.
The Clovehitch Killer (2018)
Well Done
I enjoyed the entire movie. It slowly unveils everything piece by piece in a suspenseful way. Even the ending was not disappointing.
My only critique is that there really isn't a twist or reveal. You know what's going to happen the whole time, but it does a good job of presenting the story.
Wild Wild Country (2018)
Amazing!
I've never heard of this story before. I was born in 1983 but have heard of Waco, Jones Town, etc. This is mind blowing.
If you enjoy docuseries don't miss this one!
